TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Self-stigma mediates the impact of insight on current suicide ideation in suicide attempters with schizophrenia: results of a moderated mediation approach JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Lien, Yin-Ju A1 - Chang, Hsin-An A1 - Kao, Yu-Chen A1 - Tzeng, Nian-Sheng A1 - Yeh, Chin-Bin A1 - Loh, Ching-Hui SP - 661 EP - 676 VL - 48 IS - 6 N2 - This study examined the relationships among insight, self-stigma, self-esteem, hope, quality of life, and suicidal behavior in individuals diagnosed as having schizophrenia. Hypotheses concerning mediating and moderating effects were examined. A total of 170 community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia participated in the study. The results revealed a negative association between insight and suicide ideation, which was partially mediated by self-stigma. Moreover, this indirect link was stronger among patients with suicide attempts than among those without attempts. We discuss the implications of these results for preventing or reducing the considerable risks of suicide in this population.
